Not if you load the answering robot :-p One of the features of asterisk, if I understood it well, is that it does codec translation. In normal VoIP, the the negotiation between two points uses a registrar, but the conversation itself only involves the end-points, the "phones". But with asterisk it is also involved, because it is used to match different codecs between bot ends. I suppose that if both can negotiate a common codec, they use it and free asterisk, but if not, asterisk does the translation. It means that with asterisk you can converse with anybody, but you load more the machine - which is (one of the reasons?) why the documentation say that the machine should not run X. One thing I looked to see if it existed, was separate terminals for video conferencing (with asterisk?). You know, phone terminal with a small display. Have only seen them in SciFi movies. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
